Chu Yue didn't see Yu Guiwan come back until dark, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She opened the door and was about to go out when she saw Xu Huizhou coming back from outside. She quickly said, "Huizhou, go check on your junior sister. She went out this morning and hasn't come back yet."

After all, Chu Yue had suffered losses there, and now it involved Xie Sui, so she was afraid that A Wan would be too impulsive.

"Forget it, I'll go with you."

Chu Yue thought about it, then stood up and walked to Xu Huizhou.

"Master, you should take a rest. I will definitely bring my junior sister back." Xu Huizhou looked at Chu Yue and assured her that his master had asked him to do other things in the past few days.

Although he didn't know how difficult this task was, Xu Huizhou also knew that his master had come back with a frown every day in the past two days, and it was obvious that he had suffered a setback there.

……

Yu Guiwan woke up in bed.

What caught her eye was the moon-white bed curtains. Yu Guiwan held her head and sat up. She rubbed her temples and looked around.

She's not dead yet.

It seems that her bet was right, there was no poison in the two pills.

"you're awake."

A woman walked in and looked at Yu Guiwan who had sat up on the bed. "You should not be dizzy now, right?" The woman asked softly about her current condition with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Have I passed the test?"

The first thing Yu Guiwan was concerned about was that matter, so he asked.

The woman chuckled when she heard this. "Don't worry, you've passed. My grandfather is really a jerk. Why would he embarrass a little girl like you? Don't mind it, he just has a bad temper."

The woman explained that she had just been out for a few days and didn't expect to be like this when she came back.

"Can I go see your grandfather now?"

Yu Guiwan sat up and asked sincerely. Although the old man had a strange temper, he had no intention of harming anyone. She probably wanted to test her because the medicinal material was very precious.

"It's getting late today, you should come back tomorrow."

Only then did Yu Guiwan look out the window and found that it was already dark.

There was a thump in my heart.

It’s over. Master must be worried sick.

"Okay, then I'll come again tomorrow." Yu Guiwan didn't stay any longer. She didn't expect that she would sleep until night. Now she had to go back quickly.

at this time.

Outside the courtyard gate.

"Let me in, my junior sister is inside."

Xu Huizhou looked at the tall man in front of him who was stopping him, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

"Those who trespass will die."

The guards standing at the door looked as indifferent as ever.

"Did you kidnap my junior sister? She came here this morning and hasn't left yet. If you don't let me in, I'll report her to the authorities!"

Xu Huizhou didn't know any martial arts and couldn't even reach the door of the courtyard.

"I haven't seen the person you're talking about."

"impossible!"

He also learned from his master that the medicinal herbs they were looking for this time were related to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and that the junior sister must have come here. If there was no other way, the junior sister would have returned to the inn by now.

How is it possible that he hasn't returned yet?

The man looked at Xu Huizhou in front of him and said, "If you don't leave, I'm going to take action."

Xu Huizhou glanced over, his expression seemed to say, you dare to do it?

The man was not a soft-hearted person. Every day, countless people wanted to see him, and he beat back countless people. Just as he raised his hand, a voice came from not far away.

"Afeng, stop it."

When the man heard the female voice, he immediately stopped his action, turned around and looked back. Seeing two people walking towards him not far away, he immediately took a step back.

"Miss, I wanted to attack him because he tried to break in." The man's tone was still a little aggrieved, completely different from when he was blocking the door just now.

"Junior sister, are you okay?"

When Xu Huizhou saw Yu Guiwan beside the strange woman, he immediately asked, and when he wanted to take two steps forward, he was stopped by a hand.

"I'll send you here. Come back tomorrow morning. Afeng won't stop you tomorrow." The woman spoke to Yu Guiwan, but she was actually saying this to Afeng.

This is to prevent Afeng from stopping the person again tomorrow morning without knowing the seriousness of the matter.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Yu Guiwan thanked him before walking out of the courtyard and looking at Xu Huizhou, "Brother, let's go back first."

Xu Huizhou looked Yu Guiwan up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was okay, "Okay, Master is very worried about you at the post station, seeing that you haven't returned yet so late."

"I'm sorry to have worried my senior brother and master."

*

After returning to the inn, Yu Guiwan told the two of them everything that happened there today. Xu Huizhou was furious after listening to it, "They are really going too far!"

Xu Huizhou's face turned red with anger, and he stood up for Yu Guiwan.

Although Chu Yue didn't say anything, he grabbed Yu Guiwan's wrist the moment Yu Guiwan told him about this. He took her pulse and confirmed that she was fine before he was completely relieved.

"I'm fine. Although the old man has a strange temper, he never intended to take anyone's life, so I dared to continue gambling."

"Then be careful when you go there again tomorrow."

Chu Yue was still somewhat worried, because Yu Guiwan also said that there were many poisonous herbs planted in the courtyard, and Awan happened to have no medical skills, so Chu Yue was afraid that she would get into trouble by accident.

"I know, Master, just wait for my good news."

A smile appeared on Yu Guiwan's face. She was determined to succeed this time and get the herbs back.

The next day, Yu Guiwan went to Luoye early in the morning again. This time, the people at the door did not stop her. Instead, they took the initiative to speak to Yu Guiwan when they saw her: "Come on, Miss, let me take you in."

"Thank you."

Yu Guiwan nodded slightly before following Afeng into the courtyard.

The weather was good today. When Yu Guiwan went there, the two people were sorting the herbs.

"Yu Guiwan greets you two. I wonder what instructions you have for me today." Yu Guiwan walked over and spoke immediately when he saw the old man, wanting to see if there was anything that could be done in this way.

The old man saw her and said, "Come and help me sort out the herbs." After saying that, the old man walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Come with me. My grandfather has that kind of temper. Just ignore him." As she spoke, the woman taught Yu Guiwan how to organize medicinal materials and how to prepare them. She was very enthusiastic.

If the person in front of him hadn't called the old man grandpa, Yu Guiwan would have doubted whether they were grandfather and granddaughter.

"Thank you."

Yu Guiwan spoke with gratitude.

"You're welcome. Just call me by my name. My name is Lin Wanzhao, so you can just call me Wanzhao." The woman introduced herself and then said, "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Zhao, does it?"
